finally hooked up my turntable after 25 years packed away, and 47 years later the Ramones are still sounding great!

what's that peeking out? liner notes on the inner sleeve! (fucking eh!)
Picture showing a turntable spinning a disk, the cover of the album Road To Ruin by the Ramones on top, and the inner sleeve peaking out, with liner notes showing lyrics to I Wanna Be Sedated: I WANNA BE SEDATED Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated Nothing to do Nowhere to go I wanna be sedated Just get me to the airport And put me on a plane Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain Oh no oh ho Just put me in a wheelchair And get me to the show Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco I cant control my fingers I cant control my toes Oh no oh ho.

from the article, a good summary of the issue
Screencap from the article reads as follows: "Let's be crystal clear about what this law actually accomplishes: It makes it harder for adults to access perfectly legal (and often helpful) information and services. It forces people to create detailed trails of their online activity linked to their real identities. It drives users toward less secure platforms and services. It destroys small online communities that can't afford compliance costs. And it teaches an entire generation that bypassing government surveillance is a basic life skill. Meanwhile, the actual harms it purports to address? Those remain entirely unaddressed. Predators will simply move to unregulated platforms, encrypted messaging, or services that don't comply. Or they'll just use VPNs. The law creates the illusion of safety while actually making everyone less secure. This is what happens when politicians decide to regulate technology they don't understand, targeting problems they can't define, with solutions that don't work. The UK has managed to create a law so poorly designed that it simultaneously violates privacy, restricts freedom, harms small businesses, and completely fails at its stated goal of protecting children. And all of this was predictable. Hell, it was predicted. Civil society groups, activists, legal experts, all warned of these results and were dismissed by the likes of Peter Kyle as supporting child predators. Yet every criticism, every warning, every prediction about this law's failures has come to pass within days of implementation. The only question now is how long it will take for the UK government to admit what everyone else already knows: the Online Safety Act is an unmitigated disaster that makes the internet less safe for everyone.

sometimes synchronicity
Image is a screen-cap showing weeder's skeet in my timeline followed immediately by a skeet from richard mortimer, saying "I don't do cars, but if I did do cars..." followed by an image of a classic sporty 2-door cabriolet in brown with a black soft roof, parked in front of a circular brown building. It appears to be a modern picture but has a definite late 60's vibe.

the only super bowl i care about comes with soju!
This is a picture of a delicious bowl of bibimbap, a glorious mix steamed vegetables, meat and spicy sauce, crowned with a sunnyside-up egg. The bowl sits on a dark brown wood-grained table top, accompanied by three small bowls of yummy pickles and chili sauce.
